he Texans announced today that Graham wouldn’t be making the trip to New England. That means fullback James Casey will get more action at tight end behind starter Owen Daniels.

Because coach Gary Kubiak loves to use two tight ends at once, expect Daniels and Casey on the field together. Casey starts at fullback, but could get more playing time at tight end more than any time this season.

The Texans were hoping Graham had recovered well enough to play. They followed the NFL protocol but elected today to give him another week.
